• Read this owner’s manual before assembly or operation.
• Do not allow children to move the lectern.
• Proceed slowly and carefully when moving the lectern.
• For indoor use only. Do not install or store the lectern where it will be exposed
to moisture.
• Do not block the ventilation openings.
• Avoid uneven loading of the equipment into the lectern. Uneven weight
distribution could cause the lectern to tip when the lectern is moving.
• Do not allow anyone to sit, stand, or climb on the lectern.
• Use a damp, soft-cloth, or sponge, with mild soap or detergent solution to clean
dirty surfaces. Do not use harsh solvents or abrasives.
• This lectern is intended for institutional use. It does not have any user-
serviceable parts or user-maintenance requirements. If servicing is necessary,
please contact Spectrum Industries for assistance.
Electrical Safety:
• Do not plug the power cord into an extension cord.
• Inspect power cords for damage before each use. Do not use power cords
that are damaged.
• Unplug power cord from electrical outlet by gripping the cord. Do not unplug
the power cord by pulling only on the cord.
• Do not step on, drive over, drag, or place objects on the power cord.
• For added safety, plug the lectern into a grounded outlet controlled by a GFI
(Ground Fault Interrupter) circuit breaker.
• Electrical devices are not toys. Children are often unaware of the hazards
associated with electrical devices. This lectern must always be used by
adults or with adult supervision.
Warning - Relocating audio and/or video equipment to furniture not speci cally
designed to support audio and/or video equipment may result in death or
serious injury due to the furnishing collapsing or over turning onto a child.
Warning - Death or serious injury may occur when children climb on audio
and/or video equipment furniture. A remote control or toys placed on the
furnishing may encourage a child to climb on the furnishing and as a result the
furnishing may tip over on to the child.

Optional Flip-up Shelf
Shelf grommet
Operation
The shelf will automatically lock into place when lifted into the
horizontal position with the levers released. To lower or ip-up the
shelf, press and hold the levers under each folding shelf bracket at the
same time while slowly lowering or raising the shelf. Do not exceed a
maximum of 35 lb of weight on the shelf. Do not move the unit while
the shelf is in the horizontal position.
Note: Power and communication wiring for document cameras, laptop
computers, and / or projectors placed on the ip-up shelf should be routed
on top of the audience-side of the shelf. Use of the shelf grommet hole for
wiring will result in pinching of the cords when the shelf is lowered.
CAUTION
Keep clear of pinch points during shelf movement.
Do not exceed 35 lb [15.9 kg] of weight on shelf.

Optional Overbridge Insert Panel Cutouts
1. Before you begin, refer to the panel dimensions in Figure 8B for
maximum recommended cutout sizes.
2. Identify the size and position (left, centered, or right) of each cutout
needed.
3. Identify the depth of your device to verify it will not interfere with the
worksurface or any other objects under the overbridge when the
panel is attached. Figure 8C.
4. When the cutout location(s) have been determined, locate and mark the
exact cutout area(s) on the panel with a pencil. Note: Using masking
tape on cut lines will minimize laminate chipping while cutting.
5. Carefully make the cutout(s) in the panel using a jigsaw or router.
6. Set the panel into the overbridge frame opening. Note: It may be
necessary in some cases to install the electronic device into the
panel before attaching the panel to the overbridge.
7. Secure with (2) 1/4-20 x 35mm JC bolts and tighten securely.
8. Install (2) 2” grommets. 1/4-20 x 35mm

Note: The overbridge panel is symmetrical. Rotating or ipping the
panel 180° and re-attaching to the overbridge will allow you to place the
cutout on the opposite side of the overbridge if necessary.

0120148 Page 7 of 13
Note: The max cutout areas shown are general recommendations only.
The nal location of the cutout(s) on the panel will be determined by:
• The size of the cutout(s)
• Location preference of each
device (left, centered, right)
• The vertical depth of the installed device
• The available worksurface opening
under the overbridge on your specic
Spectrum lectern.

Note: The Overbridge Control Console™has been designed
for many of the currently available controllers on the market,
however, modied cutouts should be reviewed by Spectrum
to ensure clearance of brackets, keyboard slides, or other
objects under the worksurface.
Contact Spectrum to specify cutout size(s) and location(s).
Cutouts can be made in the blank insert panel by the
customer after the lectern has been purchased, but are
only recommended within the cutout area shown.
